April 27: Shotgun Wedding Quintet at Hopmonk Sebastopol

Last week’s media shitshow over the Boston bombings brought us at least one moment of greatness: Fox News’ Megyn Kelly quoting lyrics to Eminem’s Forgot About Dre live on the air. Conservative hilarity aside, though, hey . . . what about Dr. Dre? He might have produced Kendrick Lamar’s top-level debut last year, but his over-12-years-in-the-making forthcoming album Detox is now the Chinese Democracy of the rap world. To ensure people don’t, in fact, forget about Dre, the Shotgun Wedding Quintet plays a G-funk era tribute night with the music of Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Warren G, Nate Dogg and more on Saturday, April 27, at Hopmonk Tavern. 230 Petaluma Ave., Sebatopol. 10:30pm. $15. 707.829.7300.
